Are Computers Male or Female?

author unknown

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female. Recently, a group of computer
scientists (all males) announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their
reasons for drawing this conclusion follow:

No one but their Creator understands their internal logic.

The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone
else.

The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you
don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."

Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

As soon as you commit to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories
for it.

However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred
to as if they were male:

They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.

They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.

As soon as you commit to one you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could
have obtained a better model.
